Description
This large resort is easily the best accommodation option in Phrao. Located around 6km to the north of Phrao, it boasts a variety of bungalows including some that have been converted from rice barns, with fan and share bathrooms, and concrete bungalows with air-con and private bathroom.
The resort is set within a small orchard opposite the village of Pa Nai. It's spotlessly clean and the Thai-German owners are lovely.
The resort also has a pool, but it is not always open.
The only minus is the design of the restaurant which is similar in style to a beerhall. You really need to sit outside to take in the magnificent views but the table space is limited.
Doi Farang can also run trekking and motorcycle tours and appears to get the occasional German tour group through, so it may be busy on occasion.
To get there from Phrao either get a motorcycle taxi or follow the signs that run from near the bus station all the way to the resort.
